food: READ THIS before you cook for Thanksgiving! - 11/24/10 06:48 AM
Keep your family and friends safe and healthy with these important tips from the USDA.
DON'T: Store warm leftovers in large containers - they won't cool fast enough to kill bacteria
DON'T: Serve undercooked (or raw) eggs...make sure stuffing is all the way heated to at least 165 degrees
DON'T: Wash meats - this can increase the risk of spreading bacteria (news to me!)
DON'T: Thaw frozen food at room temperature
DO: Thaw by refrigerating...6hrs per pound
DO: Store leftovers in appropriate size Tupperware
DO: Set your fridge to 40 degrees F and freezer to 0 degrees F
DO: Use one cutting … (4 comments)
